I’m from a rookie team, and i was just wondering what you’re guys’ scheduals look like. I mean, not planning it out step by step (week one we ____ week two we ____) but more like how long you spend on it after school and what days of the week.

Tuesday-Thursday 5-8
Saturday 9-3

  1. Fundrasing almost complete. RIIIIGHT???
  2. THINK THINK THINK… Strat, Bot, Media
  3. I would put your best four designs together and make human bots play the game against eachother. Do it a few times, yeah sure it’s cheesey… but oh well. See who wins :smiley:
  4. Vote on designs an stuff… and start thinking of materials.
  5. REMEMBER WEIGHT WILL BE A BIG FACTOR… Be under the limit :wink:
  6. Start construction, get some flags and stuff created… think of a thing for the media peeps to do… and rooolll out!
  7. Finish the bot :smiley:
  8. Compete.
  9. Have FUN!!
  10. WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN… nonno jokes… :smiley: winning is not needed… only FUN!

YAY!!!

we are down at the robot room everyday from as soon as school gets out until around 9. I dont mean EVERYBODY every single day, but there is always about 6-10 people down there at any given time. Then, when it starts getting real close,the hours start extending until midnight and such. and sometimes, people “accidently” wink miss a class or two because they are down there… (not that i am suggesting this of course)

Here is our schedule from this year. As you can see Andy Baker did an excellent job basically planning our whole year. Every once and awhile he sends out a new version that is updated.
